Sims 1 - newbie question - the bachelor

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

Hi.

I have a bachelor that keeps dying in kitchen fires, or even
grill-related fires. I've shifted everything about, and gotten fire
alarms and such... Is my Sim just a bad cook?

How do I make him more fire conscious?

Have the sim study cooking from a bookcase.A meter should come up above
his/her head,and when this bar gets completely full,you should get a
message saying that a skill point was added.However,this won't guarantee
that fires won't start,but can reduce the chances of them starting.

I don't know about fire conscious, Maxis is notorious for programming silly
behaviour around fire IMHO, but if you get him to read about cooking from
the bookcase (and maybe even the computer, I forget just what the computer
can do now) he will burn less things and create fewer fires. Three points of
cooking is safe, IIRC.

increase his cooking skills- buy bookcase and get him to study cooking.

Oh! Why didn't I think of that?

Until he has a few cooking skill points, have him stick to the
microwave/toaster thingy instead (don't remember how it's called in Sims 1).
Only buy him a real stove when he has at least 4 or 5 skill points in
cooking.

Good luck!

Okay,

I have 2 points of cooking-ness now, and I even have a friend!

I haven't died in a fire recently and I hope to avoid that fate again
altogether...

C&C Enterprises used to have a stove that didn't let fires get started and a
cooktop. I used them often, heh. http://www.c-and-c-enterprises.com/
